AMMUNITION BAN RUMORS
Contrary to widespread rumors, the President has
not implemented any new ban on ammunition imports.
There has, however, been a delay in the
processing of some import permit applications
for ammunition and magazines.
Under the Arms Export Control Act, the
Administration has forbidden imports of guns, gun
parts, and ammunition made in the U.S. and shipped
overseas under military assistance programs. The State
Department is now trying to extend that policy to
goods that they suspect were built with licensed U.S.
technology -- for example, ammunition made on an overseas assembly line
that a Cold War ally set up under license from the State Department.
Bottom line: the Clinton/Gore administration is still trying to
use foreign policy to attack the firearms industry. NRA-ILA will
continue to work with the Congress to change this policy and defend the
interests of American gun owners."
